I have been reading for quite some time on this forum the plight of the vampire. Usually, when a noob asks about being 'turned' or something along those lines, the reply is accompanied with a statement that 'nobody would want to be a vampire anyway'.
It is my understanding that upon awakening the subtle system is altered and becomes much more receptive to manipulating, storing and retrieving energy. Much more sensitive than a mundane system. As the vampire's subtle system is exercised it becomes even more sensitive and productive towards energy.
I understand the symptoms, the craving, the problems related to vampirism. This I am denying or belittling.
But, I am saying that because of the vampire's system's already advancing in energy manipulation, they are at a great advantage and standpoint to master energy work and with it all forms of High Magick and Occlumency.
Perhaps instead of seeing vampirism as a tribulation it can be seen as a gift?
With the abilities to be great energy workers, the vampire's of today can aspire to be this world's greatest healers?
Again your thoughts?
Aracon,
I am glad you have thought this a worthy discussion point.
While I was awakening I noticed subtle changes in the way I managed to channel healing energies. I have been a healer since I was 15/16 while awakening I considered my awakening to last quite a few years.
I have considered it an important study myself because my considerations for the mundanes are beneficial to me as a Vampyre.
If I can keep my Donor healthy and well and even re-energised quicker then I am able to draw a better quality of energy from my donor whether this is through blood or paranic/psi it matters none.
I know from my own personal experiences that my donors who have been in reciept of regular Reiki sessions taste better and they also remark at how different my feeding makes them feel
As a side note to this I also like to put back into society what I take out, and the fact is I feel that by giving Reiki to those who are in need donor or not, satisfies this obligation and balances out my own Karma.
I practice High Magick based on thelemic texts and the teachings of the A:A; due to the secretive nature of this work my only comment is that I believe that vampirism does indeed help in the raising of energy required for High Magick and therefore make the rituals easier to manipulate.

In continuation of the original thread...
UpirLikhyj, glad that I wasn't the only one that noticed.
Mortalitas, depends on what 'clan' you're of.
SeraConner, ever thought that although we may not be dead literally, that some may have already experienced death in some form?
Vladmir2323, no offense taken. This is afterall a friendly discussion.
Liam, most also tend to be very careless too in their own ignorant way.
Infernalmage, you wouldn't be by any chance Asetian would you?
Oceanne, the physical manifestations and indeed the attributes that I have seen and witnessed, even to some extent experienced first hand, do and can have extreme physical changes that are NOT medically proven, yet the attribues and also the symptoms of such are there. At first I myself didn't believe it possible until I experienced something first hand over 20 years ago. Now I'm pretty much open-minded in regards to such anomalies. Most that I've been witness too, I have also seen documentation in proof of what was witnessed.
Vladmir2323, actually it is different as some are learning by reading that of others, while in other such forums, they merely cap the topic. Here people aren't outing themselves so much as they are discussing what they believe, know or have experienced. Totally different. ;)
deathnitegrl, good point. The labels....
SeraConner, I'll have to check that thread out, thanks. ;)
Territhian, good the first to bring to light, "heritage/lineage". Thank you.
Infernalmage, interesting ideology.
MeanMeanMrTu, you would hon... *GRINS*
JadedxBeauty, no offense taken hon. Each to their own here. Just a discussion thread.
Infernalmage, MeanMeanMrTu, was merely being a catalyst here. LOL.
dabbler, Vladmir2323, swaying off topic here. ;)
vvSoulshroudevv, JadedxBeauty, well said indeed hon, thank you.
LadyKrystalynDarkstar, with all due respect hon, just a friendly discussion, that's all. May have seem heated, but it wasn't.
Definitely have Aracon :) I believe in reincarnation which, if it's true, would mean most of us have died at least once before. And there are many that have "died", but have been revived either by medical or natural means. But I don't count any of this as all of it applies to all humans, not just vampires.
True energy workers not only can channel healing energy but "eat" the energy of who they are working on. This would make the Vampire a potential excellent healer. There is however a huge issue in western healing. The healers are becoming ill themselves. Many are missing a vital part of the energy exchange which is de charging the energy.
While it's common to hear Vampires speak of needing to feed in order to stay healthy it is actually the feeding that can cause serious issues if it is not processed or used in another way, such as Magick. The earth elements magnetic pull is used to de charge. Specific traditions use powerful mantras to increase this connection..
